The Sonoma County music scene extends well beyond bar bands covering familiar hits, but you might never pick up on what’s out there without a few helpful hints.

Current technology makes it possible for almost anyone to make a CD now, and the recent crop includes some new stuff from some of the area’s best.

So here’s a quick list of relatively new releases you might want to check out:

* “TheĀ  Granadina Collection,” by longtime Salmon Creek composer and guitarist, Moro. http://www.moromusic.com/granadina.htm.

* “If Not Now, When?,” straight-ahead rock and roll worthy of much more famous names, but all original, by Danny Sorentino and the Sorentinos. www.thesorentinos.com.

* Singer-songwriter Teresa Tudury’s “Such Fine Things,” co-produced by Tudury and Doug Jayne of Santa Rosa’s Last Record Store on Jayne’s Jackalope label. www.jackaloperecords.com.

* “A Strange Kind of Blue” by David T. Carter, whose Trailer Park Rangers rank among the more popular live bands in the county. www.davidtcarter.com, www.trailerparkrangers.com.

If you know of others that belong on the list, feel free to add them.
